Twin Towers remembered

Since 1970, when the World Trade Center towers were still under construction, Camilo Jose Vergara has been photographing them from every possible angle. In this poignant photographic memoir their unmistakable outline rises above neighboring spires and bridges, anchoring the skyline and reminding us of how strong a presence they were, no matter where one stood. After the September 11th attack Vergara returned to many of the original photographic sites to record the effects of the towers' absence on New York's skyline. What emerges is not only a tribute to a building but a moving and personal documentation of a city and an entire region -- a portrait of both growth and loss.
